Updates for SAP HANA Express SPS04

[HenrikD]

Hi,

I would like to update my SAP HANA Express SPS04 (2.00.040.0) to revision 2.00.045.0, but there is no newer revision available. Only the initial release.

How can i update the revision without using the recommended method (Updating SAP HANA, express edition)?

Even better, if an unannounced update is underway?

Regards,

Henrik

Absolutely. The SAP HANA, express edition was eagerly anticipated and warmly welcomed by the SAP Community. It is a fantastic learning resource.

As mentioned, I will make a post when there is some news to share. Hopefully soon.

Thanks for sharing your views.

Denys, Thanks!

Great news and 045 Express is earlier available than expected!

You might know there is an update problem in 040 Express. See https://answers.sap.com/questions/12857573/hxecheckupdatelinuxbin----jar2exe-has-expired.html

There are workarounds. E.g. the one I had mentioned. Seems to be the official workaround nowdays as well:

https://developers.sap.com/tutorials/hxe-ua-updating-binary.html

"If you do not have the update utility, use the Download Manager, select Binary Installer and download the latest files for hxe.tgz, and hxexsa.tgz"

Do you think we will ever get a working upgrader for 040?
